Focused wave interactions with a submerged flexible membrane (CCP-WSI Comparative Study 2 [formerly CCP-WSI Blind Test Series 4])

The CCP-WSI Comparative Study 2 (formerly the CCP-WSI Blind Test Series 4) consists of three test cases involving a submerged flexible membrane subject to a focused wave event. In addition to these focused wave cases, there are also a number of additional cases to enable characterisation of the structural properties and the hydrodynamic conditions. These characterisation cases include: empty tank tests, i.e. generation and propagation of the focused wave events in isolation, without the structure present, and; static equilibrium tests, i.e. measurement of the membrane position/shape in equilibrium under the action of gravity (both submerged and subaerial). These test cases, and the experimental data, have been delivered as part of the Flexible Responsive Systems in Wave Energy (FlexWave) project [EP/V040367/1]
